All This Truth Like Rain

I wake at 4 am this morning
Brew a pot of coffee
Sit out on my front porch in the darkness
Wrapped in a blanket
Listening to the rain pouring


I Love this 

I Love the quiet
I Love the smell of fresh rain air
Love the stillness of the morning 
The silence before the days business begins

I can't help but think of the verse that talks about the rain that falls from Heaven
Making the earth bud and flourish

I watch our trees getting soaked
Branches glimmering under the glow of the street lights

So is the word of God that goes forth from His mouth
It will not return to Him void
But will accomplish what He intended

See, it has been a hard season for Trev and I
This past year
You may be able to say the same about your own life
It has seemed to be one trying thing after another
After another 
We are tired and weary

Not needing life to be easy.....
Just not so hard
The word of God begins to bubble up in my parched Heart
Promises for Trev and I 
And you too!
Rain from Heaven



We are Loved
Children of God
Blessed and Highly Favoured 
Protected
Seen
Provided For
Father, You are our Strength 
Your Joy is arising in the morning of our lives
Your rain causing Growth and Beauty
From ashes
You are our Shepherd
Leading and Guiding us
You are With us
You give us Rest 
Everything we put our hand to Prospers
Our roots are growing down deep in Your Love
Your Love is shed abroad in our Hearts
We have Wisdom and Revelation in who You are 
You place us in a Family
Community and Belonging is our portion
You give us Strength in Numbers
Mothers and Fathers 
Children 
You Provide our needs 
You Care for us 
You surround us with Your Peace 
Your Comfort 
Your Grace 



You fill our Hearts and our Home with Your Presence 
You Heal our bodies, minds and souls
You Restore our lives 
Redeem and Repair 
You give us Honour 
A Double Portion for our shame 
You Bless our food and water and take sickness away from us
We are Righteous and Holy 
We have the Mind of Christ 
The Creativity and Life of Heaven rests on us 
We are absolutely and completely Secure in Your Love for us 
Adopted 
Accepted
Loved Loved Loved 
Beyond measure 



You are with us 
Always 

All this Truth 
Like rain
Downpourring over our lives and our home right now
Soaking into the soil of our Hearts
God, it will not return to You void
Your word and promises will bring life and fruit to us here on Earth 

Thank you for Your word
And Moments like this
